====== CON-007 Technology-Independent Conformance ======

[[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-c-requirements:11-conformance-requirements:start|Return to C.1 Conformance Requirements]]

===== Statement =====

The [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance_model|Conformance Model]] SHALL determine [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:conformance|Conformance]] independently of implementation technology.

===== Derived From =====

  * [[dido:03-dido-te:99-annexes:annex-b-references:dte-006|[DTE6]]], Section 6.4.6, //Implementation Conformance Model//

===== Rationale =====

Technology-independent Conformance preserves the architectural nature of DIDO-TE by separating satisfaction of architectural [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:r:requirement|Requirements]] from the technologies used to realise them.

This separation supports evaluation of heterogeneous implementations without making a particular product, platform, protocol, modelling language, deployment topology, or implementation mechanism a prerequisite for Conformance.

===== Applies To =====

  * DIDO-TE specification

===== Verification =====

Verification confirms that:

  - the Conformance Model determines Conformance independently of implementation technology
